    Lovely water, great views and there is a cave pass through that leads to the adjacent Spiaggia Padulella. Very clear waters.

    Difficult to park close to the beach but with nice sand and a great bar close to the beach.
    The water is very shallow so it’s a good place for games in the water and good for small kids.

    Beautiful water on a pebble beach, nice snorkeling area available. Not a very big beach, most is private renting out beach beds and umbrellas.
    Only negative is a nice long walk down to the beach (have to go back up later)

    This bay is very beautiful, not to far from Portoferairo. The bay has two beaches & beautiful views. There are opportunities to buy food and drinks.

    Good hike despite the warm weather. The castle looks charming especially in late afternoon. Beautiful views from the top

    Napoleon's summer house is full of history with paintings and beautiful furnitures of this era. The gardens are exquisite with a sea view on Elba's coast. The office room is also quite fascinating with a good library. It well worth a visit!

    The Forte Falcone fortress looks more attractive from far than actually on site. There's a small museum (of Bonaparte?) inside, but I was not impressed much by poor exhibition and excessive text in the descriptions. The route inside the booklet implied a lot of key points, but they are mostly just empty spaces. I am not sure it is a consequence of the pandemic or else.
    On the other hand, the 360-degree view on Portoferraio, the sea and the Elba island is glorious. Great place to make photos or birdwatching. And that overall gave mostly positive impression to me.

    If you ask me, Seccione is the best beach on Elba ( or one of the best, not to be rude and leave the specular beaches of Elba out).
    the acces to the beach is a little bit difficult, people that have problem with stairs should be careful, but once you reach the place is amazing!!
